Any recommendations for travel to Twickenham chaps? We'll be heading down from Stoke-on-Trent on train....which station should we be heading for?
Healthcote has looked very good for b***. They have signed ford and the orange one (who they see as a 12). Eastmond is currently filling that jersey for them and doing very well.
What team do you follow Wrecker, not Bath evidently 😆
I'm a brizzle fan, although I don't dislike the *alternative to a shower* really. I like to see all of the West Country teams do well. Very happy for Exeter getting the HC place though.
Bristol are throwing some money at it next year.
Yep. Signed a lot of good players including nicky Robinson who I've always though a good player. Ground sold moving to Ashton 🙁
No more of this "bristol fashion" bollocks hopefully. We've had trouble holding on to players (mako V, Atwood, arscott, lemi, to'ala etc etc). It's been an academy for long enough.
that's going to be sore in the morning
Wow. I like Fonua! (Not that I don't like Wilkinson, mind)
and that's a cracking example of his weakness, not his job to tackle that monster.
Bristol are throwing some money at it next year.
Yeah, Andy Robinson as director, Sean Holley as coach and a few decent player signings. I saw a few games at the Mem this season and Bristol lacked concentration all too often. I believe they have a squad capable of gaining promotion next season but they will need to get their mental approach right for 80+ minutes each week.
and that's a cracking example of his weakness, not his job to tackle that monster.
And yet, a cracking example of his strengths as a player. As when Larry Dayglo was too busy trying to be a superstar and not taking the tackles, JW never shirks them. He may get it wrong, but he never shirks his tackles.
Oddly, when Richard Hill was playing (less of a celeb-wannabe), JW had less tackling to do, as Hill took them on for him.
I have known both Hill and Dallaglio personally over the years. There's only one I'd drink with. And he's not an Italian.
Ooh flashy you name dropper you 😉
Stupid I pad 😳
Flasy is teh awesumz
😆
Shocking technique from st johnny though. Going high and smashing was never going to work. Apparently the big guy has been linked to scarlets. Have to get in touch with the Quinnels butcher to keep him fed!!!
JW might have got dumped but the forward's momentum was stopped and he was easily snagged. Not many breaks were made through JW's channel throughout his career and it's been a long one
Yeah, let's find some examples of Jonny's not so poor technique. I bet there are a few.
Twickenham Sunday. Looking forward to seeing this fella play (and normally I don't wana watch SA 😉 )
Crap vid, but if you saw him in Glasgow you'll know what I mean!
Since we are name dropping; I played against a few decent back rowers, up here; Jefferys,the Calder bros,Doddie Weir etc. Down in That London I played against a few good un's (Neil Back when he had long hair) Richard Hill was the best player I have ever been on the same pitch as,and Gavin Hastings was captain of London Scottish when I first went down.Hill was the wing forwards wing forward. Coaching England youth now isn't he?
Rabo Play Off Semis tonight...
Hard to see past an all Irish final. I would love to see the Scarlets do well but if there is ever a team to not get a result against it would be Ulster
I am going for an Ulster v Glasgow final.
Just got a feeling Glasgow are going to edge Leinster tomorrow
Glasgow have more or less their best team available, they can do it 🙂
All kicking off at Ravers. Nice boy Trimble getting 10 mins rest!
Trimble looks to have come off second best... Liam Williams doesn't take a lot of winding up 🙂
Bowe is looking very much up to speed too
Damn, why did I just big up Bowe
Indeed Dan 😀
Lol at big Nick swatting the Scarlets prop off one handed
Hmmm.... I think I'll be going for a ride at half time
Good performance from Ulster, knew we were in the final after 50 mins and took the foot off the gas. Looking forward to a day out at the RDS!
Any predictions for Premiership final.... already got tickets so hoping my teams there 🙂
Scarlets very much answered the critics who said they don't really deserve to be playing for the Rabo title.... no they don't deserve to be in the final 4 🙂
Frankers my prediction is that I will be there 🙂
Can't see past Sarries v Leicester for the Prem with Sarries to win. Hopefully Ulster will beat Leinster in Dublin to win the Rabo. That would be nice. SUFTUM
Tigers looking pretty good. If they had kept there foot in the gas, they'd have put 5+ tries on Hairyquims. Love that they always come good.
Tom Croft was superb, faster than most wingers in the loose and hit Care perfectly to save what I was sure was going to be a try. Mathew Tait starting to show why he was reckoned to be so good 7 years ago, damn that man has good footwork! Tuilagi like another backrow forward, but somehow always comes good in attack.
I'd love Sarries to come a cropper tomorrow, but in reality they won't then they'll strangle tigers in the final.
Ps I'm a Tigers fan if you hadn't noticed!
Aye well done to the tiggers-gutted tbh, me and my old man really wanted to see Robshaw play in the final. He's a big Toby Flood fan too though so wont be too bothered!
Just watched Leinster squeak past Glasgow on BBC Alba. Pretty exciting game with a lot of running and line breaks. Really enjoyed it but Leinster just squoze the points out. Bugger.
Tries of the season
Winner @30secs
Well played leinster though Matawalu was simultaneously glasgows best attacking option and arguably the man who's indiscipline cost them the game 😕
Great game at Welford Road today, loudest away fans I ever heard in the Caterpillar stand.
Big loss to Quins when Care got sent off, good for us though 🙂

How serious, one wonders.
Winner @30secs
You think?
Surprised at today's result, Farrell had a mare from all accounts.
Farrell was a bit tetchy all game. If I was in the Aussie squad for the Lions tour, I'd be targeting his suspect temperament.
Don't have espn so didn't see the game, but I'm surprised at the result!
Tigers have to fancy it now.
Oh, and Farrell is the second best English FH, and that's just at Saracens...
Wasps have some quality individual tries to pick from this season 🙂
